Tactile Typography

Tactile typography cake

I was recently invited to participate in an edible art project to commemorate Griffith University turning 40. 10 students were paired with 10 chefs and they produced a wide range of food art. I, of course, chose to do tactile typography and gum paste seemed like the most logical option. I worked with chef Brett McAuliffe to produce a pretty funky cake, if I may say so myself. Took about 10 hours to colour the gum paste and roll all those little quilling tear drops, but it went over really well and tasted a lot like liquorice all-sorts, without the liquorice.
